Question: I have to write a monolougue, help please!?
I'm supposed to either write a monologue or find one for drama!. But they said they'd rather us write one!. Everyone who is in my class seem to be alot more experienced than I am, so that doesn't exactly make me feel fantastic about it!.

It's supposed to be something that would sort of explain the life of someone at my age, something that I feel passionate about!. I have trouble feeling passionate about anything, though, when I'm told to write something instead of just writing it because I wanted to!.

Can someone help!? Give me tips or some examples of some good monologues!? Or anything else you feel might be useful!?

Thanks so much!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I take acting classes, and I did the same thing!. i had the option of choosing one, but I couldn't find the perfect one for me!. I wrote it as myself onstage, waiting for the show to start, and I described how I nervous I was, and I began to doubt myself as an actress, then the curtain finally opened and then i realized everything I love about theatre!. You could try writing about how the character hate monologues!. Like an adult who's looking back, thinking about this horrible experience as a child they had with monologues or something!. That's plenty relatable for you I think, because you seem to have trouble with them!. If you write about something you're unsure about or something you're not passionate about, it will read through because if you don't know what you are talking about, how in thw world will your audience know> If you ant some more ideas, you can email me stagesensation@aim!.com Www@QuestionHome@Com

Wow why the hell are they having you write a monologue!? lol, unless it's a writing class then get out! yikes!.!.!.

anyway,

Just write about a past experience!. Don't think to much, just tell a story about how you met so and so and you felt like blah blah blah then you went and did so and so!.!.!. Just tell a story!. Most monologues are in past tense!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

write about how you don't know what to say!. I'm not being sarcastic that could be both funny and interesting!. be a character who has to do what you're doing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
